Show HN: GerbDiff – Visual diff tool for PCB Gerbers

Based, GerbDiff – Visual diff tool for PCB Gerbers works in show hn launch.

Profile

GerbDiff is a desktop app that provides layer-by-layer diff comparisons of PCB design files (Gerbers). The intended use-case is a production design environment to compare revisions of the same board where a design mistake can cost thousands of dollars. I built this app after personally experiencing the pain of shipping unintended design changes to fab. A quick rundown of the features:- Local-only desktop app. Design IP never leaves the local machine. - In-house developed gerber parser. Needed to be bulletproof for design validation. - Automatic layer detection to make diff generation quick/painless. - Generate and export diff reports (PNG/HTML). Attach to reviews/PRs as design collateral. -

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
